Rotowire
Siakam has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right elbow injury management.
Siakam was initially listed as available for Sunday's game. Still, the Pacers flipped his status and have decided to rest the star forward, which makes sense given that the Pacers have already secured a spot in the playoffs. Siakam will end the season with averages of 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game. In his absence, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker should see more minutes Sunday.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Available to play Sunday
Rotowire
Siakam (elbow) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Siakam didn't play Friday against the Magic, but it seems the injury wasn't severe, and the power forward will see minutes in the regular-season finale, which will work as the team's final tune-up before the start of the playoffs. This means Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin are likely to return to their regular roles on the bench.

Siakam (elbow) will play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
Siakam will overcome an elbow issue to suit up and send Obi Toppin to the bench, with the former returning from a one-game absence Sunday against the Nuggets. Provided Tuesday's soft matchup against Washington stays competitive, the star forward should see his normal allotment of minutes.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Siakam is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right olecranon bursitis.
The Pacers will be without one of their best players due to an elbow injury, and the Pacers are willing to deploy a conservative approach with Siakam if that helps him be close to 100 percent for the playoffs. Siakam is averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his last 10 appearances, and if he's out, expect Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin to see more minutes in the frontcourt alongside Myles Turner. Siakam's next chance to play will come against the Wizards on Tuesday.
